Trying to dodge the Alliance, the Serenity's crew drift into Federation Space. When there they take on 73 bits of Cargo and find themselves in communication with the Enterprise, and a potentially deadly man on board. Fortunately, they also have River, who sees every move six steps ahead. But she also seems unwilling to work with them...

Doctors and engineers both do some fixin' but sometimes they need a little bit of help to, even if they're from another universe. Just a thought if Dr. Keller and Kaylee met Dr.Bones McCoy and engineer Montgomery Scott of the Enterprise.

After the Enterprise crew appear just outside of Alliance territory, Malcolm Reynolds and Jim Kirk team up to find out why no one in the 26th century has ever heard of Starfleet. Or aliens, for that matter.

A teaser of the future for A Reader in the Star. Need to read that fic before you read this just so it makes sense. Disclaimer: The television series and movies belong to those that have the rights. River and friends in the future after the movie plot.
